For all the children who will get interested in statistics because of their favorite sport it's pretty cool. That might not be the answer you were looking for, but as someone who grew up collecting baseball cards obsessively I think it

My understanding is that the failure they're referring to is among those paying the $150 to take the course for credit. I agree with your point (presumably many taking the course, free or otherwise, aren't college students) but th

A few days ago I posted a document regarding NYC's relatively new booting program for cars which have accumulated too many tickets/fines. In it they point out that the system is backed by a team of vans which scour the city doing

Since they didn't mention it they're probably A) definitely screwed or B) very humble developers who do not wish to bait the wrath of Nintendo into whatever remote territory they (or their code) resides. B might be a little optimi

Because it's a puff piece for Usersnap's feedback service. Bourbon, Inuit, and Compass would probably be worth mentioning as well. Admittedly geo-bootstrap was new to me, so thanks for that :) (Rather, pass the eye drops!)

Well that was fun... though it made my MBP (i7) a little too hot to touch on 1024x768 and the "Fast" render setting. It should run much better in Windows but damn . There don't seem to be any mods yet which is understandable

I searched for TextTeaser and only found a boilerplate login site and some unrelated results. Have you or do you plan on posting the code anywhere? The results look very good, and though I'm sure you can think of some great uses for it

It's certainly ideal if everyone can manage to future proof their work, but I don't really know how realistic that is for many considering the demands. Learning Fortran is a formidable proposition to anyone who can do their work w

For those who may skim the article without reading the actual manifesto, the closing paragraph is rather keen: > A manifesto is a call that people reading it should vote for your point of view. Don’t vote with a signature or a petition.

Yes, that was my point (except it wasn't just XP– hinting was/is a PITA on any platform). These days we still have to make them look as good as possible on both, but if you're also targeting printed media then you're alr

To some degree I think you're correct, but until there are only retina displays on the market we need a solution that works well for both. Everyone looks forward to the day when designing a font doesn't mean spending half your

The obvious solution here is to just spend so much on the best available audio gear that you can no longer afford to fly.

I was just about to link to Pure since it looks almost identical on the surface (and I just tried it out this morning for a prototype). For those wondering, Pure comes in at ~4kb.

Completely understandable, as that would be a pretty major step. Going back I now see the more/less/read buttons which could benefit from going in that direction. Good luck!

This is very similar to something I've been looking for/thinking of building for some time. I took a look around but browsing was very slow for me so I'll just ask here; do you have any plans for training filters? That is, fe

Edited to clarify. Yesterday's Chicago mesh thread prompted a search that didn't turn up much besides darknet/meshnet which is why I posted it. I'm glad to see this update though– when I saw the title I was a little bit

That's quite interesting, as I've had an opposite experience (substitutions ahead). Switching to dvorak lifted my speed on it as well as qwerty, and my Japanese has only helped my French. There was certainly a lot of weirdness at
